Local Planning Strategy update March 2020

Council will again consider the Draft Local Planning Strategy at the Agenda Briefing at 5.30pm on Tuesday 17 March 2020 and Ordinary Council Meeting at 7pm on Tuesday 24 March 2020.

There has been a high level of interest in this project, with extensive feedback received during the formal consultation period in 2019. We are therefore making the Officer's Report available earlier than usual. You can view the report on the City's website.

Members of the public may address Council by making a deputation at the Agenda Briefing. For more details about making a deputation or to make an application, please visit the City’s website.

Council first considered the Draft Local Planning Strategy at its meeting in September 2019, when it was resolved that further review was needed. Following workshops with Councillors, a range of further modifications to the Draft Strategy are proposed including:

• Modifications to the managed growth strategy, including changes to the Angelo Street and Canning Highway (Places 3, 4 & 5) areas;
• Additional and modified actions relating to character protection, built-form transition, the transport network, protection of mature trees and housing diversity amongst a series of other modifications.

If you wish to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the City on 9474 0777 or by email: enquiries@southperth.wa.gov.au
